That's always been my thought. There's so much internal monologue in Dune, how else are you going to represent it? The Scifi Channel and Villeneuve both seem to just kind of like, leave it out. Herbert's characters have rich internal lives, and arguably the most significant parts of Dune happen inside their heads.

The other adaptations maybe stayed closer to the source material for the details of the world in some aspects, but I think Lynch really nailed the feeling and some of the important ways of thinking that kind of get left out otherwise.

Thankfully, it seems like everybody's done a pretty good job with the source material so far. People grumble about the Scifi miniseries too, but it did a pretty great job conveying the first three books. I've been a life-long Dune fan and they all hit the mark for me. That's pretty rare in any adaptation, and I think it speaks to the strengths of the story itself and Herbert's fantastic world-building.

I can't even begin to try to like, rank my favorite Baron Harkonnen. They're all fantastic and take the character in pretty different directions.

I can't find a trace of this anywhere at all. :(

This article was extremely confusing without the context of what this show is. I thought they were talking about some new Star Trek series with an alternate history.

I get out my sunglasses and prepare for lens flare.

That looks like a shut up kiss that didn't work on either of them.

This honestly went the other way around for me. There was a lot of stuff I couldn't manage as a teenager and in my 20s, and a lot of pain I had that I don't have anymore. Though I definitely have to do more negotiating with my body about food.

But I started taking estrogen in my early 30s, which seemed to make a big difference.

If it helps, everyone else around our age is also creeping up on 40.

I don't think we spontaneously turn into our parents or adopt the thinking of their generation.

They're all transporter clones anyway.
